Honolulu Restraining Order Attorney

Restraining orders or orders of protection are relatively easy to request and put into effect: a person entering his or her local court house can sign a declaration indicating he or she is in fear or imminent danger of harm from the threat of some one else. The court will then issue a temporary restraining order and schedule a hearing to be held 10 days later to determine if a restraining should be extended or annulled.

Remember, once a restraining order is filed, the police can pick you up if they receive a report that you have violated its terms – even if the allegation is unsubstantiated.
